Book excerpt: At 630 miles, the South West Coast Path is the UK's longest and most scenic National Trail, and the geology of the North Devon and North Cornwall coastline, battered and eroded by fierce Atlantic waves for millennia, is world renowned. So much of the coast is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest that it would be easier to list the bits in between. Covering the second week of walking from Westward Ho! to Port Isaac, A Leisurely Guide to the South West Coast Path explores everything from the path's flora, fauna and geology to local museums, customs, traditions and history, visiting picturesque fishing villages en route.
